Hoi An Ancient Town is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a South-East Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century. Its buildings and its street plan reflect the influences, both indigenous and foreign, that have combined to produce this unique heritage site.

I will put here photos taken from several trips, first set is very fresh from Apr 2012

Interesting series, I particularly like #10. However, your exposure seems to either be off or the scanning of the negatives is lacking. The few times I've shot BW400 I found high contrast situations (like the ones in your photographs) somewhat challenging.

I always enjoy the depictions of your country. In spirit, I consider it my second home because of my adopted daughter.

Thanks all you guys for seeing and comments!

I'm really understand your point, in fact I rated the film at ISO250 and quite like the results. I did adjust the level a bit to increase the contrast. BTW, I used an ORANGE filter and really like the effect.

I am curious how you looked like, a picture might depict it better no? (if you don't mind of course!)

Nicely done! Thanks for posting...it is remarkable how clean the streets, etc. appear with no trash or other debris lying around. I noticed a lady sweeping in one of them. Can I presume that the city does appear to be quite tidy?

Yes, among several ancient towns in Vietnam, only Hoi An is an Unesco site heritage. It's not only Hoi An is a well preserved town but also people there still keep a somehow calm and slow lifestyle.

In addition, it's fair to emphasize the roll if the government there, very well done policy to keep the balance of tourism and the character of the city.
